Maajid Nawaz LBC- feminists are abandoning ethnic minority women and their causes for first world problems

Lass, the OP states he's commenting on his own radio show on LBC. Unless they print & publish transcripts as he broadcasts, I doubt you'll find the published comments you seem to think is the important part of this thread. And I'm with countess on this too.

I'm sorry but why in hell should he "call feminists out" for their lack of commentary on anything? I genuinely don't understand.

I don't subscribe to any social media outlets but has this story been commented on by any feminist websites or feminist bloggers in the UK?

If not, then he does rather have a point (assuming he did actually criticise feminists for their lack of response- I can't find it)

I've just realised I'm repeating thecountess, but far less articulately.

I doubt that he was really outraged by this, otherwise he would be too busy telling Muslim men why they were wrong to have any time to criticise feminism. Its just him using this woman to tell other women their concerns are unimportant and therefore they should shut up.

I can't find any links where he said what he is alleged to have said on the OP.

I haven't found much reporting of it at all apart from the Mail, the Record and Breitbart and Nawaz's own site.

I do not agree, not unsurprisingly, with the view that not being a woman disbars a person commenting on feminism.

FFS. What everyone else already said.

Lesson #1 in how to be a good ally: don't tell the women they are "doing it wrong"

Fuck off with your directives to feminists.

yy to "And taking a story about a Muslim woman being treated badly by Muslim men and turning it into a story about feminists being crap stinks of patriarchy to me."

And taking a story about a Muslim woman being treated badly by Muslim men and turning it into a story about feminists being crap stinks of patriarchy to me.

If he wants to use his position to bring more attention to issues affecting ethnic minority women, that's great. Feminists of all ethnicities will applaud and support him.
What he doesn't get to do is to use it as an opportunity to demonstrate his manly superiority over those silly women and show us how he can do feminism better than us - he needs to look at the politics around his doing that.

I am entirely prepared to have my feminism critiqued by other women. But not by men who are oblivious to the privilege with which they speak.

He is a man. He doesn't get to tell women how to do feminism.

Is there a link to the original story? I've not heard of it, and haven't come across it before.
